In Mortagne-sur-Sèvre, Small City of Character

Stroll along the water

We invite you for a nice walk at Mortagne-sur-Sevre, Small City of Character, at the end of the day. Start at a place called Fleuriais then walk to the Moulin du Thouet where you can cross the Sevre Nantes then come back on the other side along the banks of the Sèvre.

The + : the discovery of the site of Fleuriais, an old tannery which knew multiple artisanal then industrial activities.

Contemplate to recharge

Another favorite to discover: Les Jardins de la Cure in Mortagne-sur-Sevre. It is a place that allows you to escape and disconnect. Its concept is original: a place of contemplation, rest and culture with its exhibitions and concerts.

The + : this space also has a committed philosophy: the garden has a vegetable garden cultivated for the solidarity grocery store.

Enjoy an on-board aperitif

In an exceptional natural setting, privatize a boat and sail on the river for an unusual aperitif at the River House in Montaigu-Vendée! Around a generous basket of local products, choose your favorite corner of the river… and toast!
